I like lanyards to keep things handy. I use one all of the time in conjunction with a hip pack. My lanyard has a nippers, Gink, Frog's Fanny, split shot container, and strike putty.

Norm, I'd post a picture but I'm embarrassed with what I have on it.
Lanyard?
I carry a wicker creel!
I do have a couple of new fangled retracting pin on thingamabobs for my hemostats and a pair of small sizzors. They have shown to be kinda handy.
But I like my creel.

Never put anything around your neck strong enough to strangle you. That includes lanyards, IMO.
If you use a break away system you will be fine. Most commercial made lanyards have one.Originally Posted by DG
I made a couple but rarely use them. On those rare occassions, I carry nippers, hemos, and Dave's Bug Float. I too put a clip on the bottom to keep it from flopping around. And I don't worry about strangleing myself.

I use a lanyard I made myself using beads made of antler and wood that I turned on my wood-turning lathe. I think it is kind of cool.
On the lanyard I have floatant, nppers, hemostat and a little pair of combination scissors and pliers (for mashing barbs).
Cord non-beaded lanyard w/floatant, hemostat, thermometer, 4 spools tippet, nippers, knot tying tool. Fly boxes in shirt pockets. Vest in cooler weather.
Hippie chick jewelry? - not so much.
C'mon now. Speaking as an old hippie, I doubt that the women of that era would be attracted to spools of line and fly boxes as jewelry. Maybe the hemos, but for another purpose.
Anyway, from top left around I carry nippers and file on one clip, then a fly box, next is a tippet holder with 6 spools & a bottle of floatant hanging off the bottom, another fly box, then hemos, and then I added a clip for a little plastic box of shot.
It's hard to find little fly boxes with a clip hole. Anyone got a source for such a beast?
